Leftover currency? We’ll take care of it

Send in your leftover currency, and we’ll make sure that you don’t waste a cent.

Back home from your trip with leftover currency?

Feeling sad that your vacation is over? Bring some sunshine back into your day by returning your leftover currency to us and exchanging it back into Canadian dollars!

If you’re worried about all that extra hassle, don’t be! It really couldn’t be a simpler process to exchange your money back with Travelex, leaving you with more time to ease back into the swing of everyday life.

What To Do With Currency?

There are a few options available to you if you have a significant amount of foreign currency, and aren’t sure what to do with it. You can either sell the currency back to us as soon as you wish, or you could hold on to the currency with two objectives in mind. The first would be to watch our rates and decide to sell the currency back to us when you feel the rate is at its best. The second would be to keep your currency safe until you decide to travel to that region or country again.

How To Sell Currency

We will buy back your currency and pay you Canadian dollars. All you have to do is:

Decide how much currency you want to sell back to Travelex.

Choose to mail through your currency, or visit one of our retail stores across the country.

Receive Canadian dollars back in the form of a check or in cash, based on the day’s rate.

Selling Your Currency

Yes! In the vast majority of cases, we’ll buy your foreign currency from you. You can either visit a Travelex Store or you can send your currency to us.

Do you purchase all currencies?

We purchase most major currencies, but unfortunately we're not able to purchase some foreign currencies.

At this time, we don't buy Argentinian Pesos (ARS), Cuban Pesos (CUP) or Iraqi Dinar (IQD), along with some other currencies.

We can purchase Bahamian Dollars (BSD) and Russian Rubles (RUB) only if we sold this currency to you. Please include the receipt for your purchase from Travelex when returning your bills.

We’re also unable to accept any legacy currencies from the countries now using the euro. If you want to double check which countries are using the euro, visit the European Central Bank.

If you’re not sure if we accept a currency, please feel free to contact us at 1-855-270-0627 (within Canada) and the email should be: Online.Orders.Canada@travelex.com if you need clarification.

Do you purchase coins?

Generally, we don’t purchase coins besides £1 and £2 coins and €1 and €2 coins, which our store locations may be willing to accept. Please contact your nearest store directly for more information on this.

Do you purchase old or discontinued currency?

No, unfortunately we aren’t able to purchase any currency that’s no longer in circulation.

How long will it take to get my money?

Within just five days of receiving your foreign currency banknotes here at Travelex, we’ll mail you a check based on our daily exchange rate for similar transactions. It usually takes between 7-10 days for Fed-Ex and/or Canada Post.
